Adverse Effects of Higher Preoperative Pain at Rest, a Central Sensitization-Related Symptom, on Outcomes After Total Hip Arthroplasty in Patients with Osteoarthritis

BACKGROUND: In patients with hip osteoarthritis (OA), pain at rest, unlike pain on activity, is due to pain mechanisms that cannot be explained by nociceptive pain. However, it remains unclear whether central sensitization (CS) is one of the causes of exacerbated pain at rest in patients with hip OA...

Sumario:BACKGROUND: In patients with hip osteoarthritis (OA), pain at rest, unlike pain on activity, is due to pain mechanisms that cannot be explained by nociceptive pain. However, it remains unclear whether central sensitization (CS) is one of the causes of exacerbated pain at rest in patients with hip OA. Therefore, we investigated the differences in causative factors and postoperative course of total hip arthroplasty (THA) between preoperative pain at rest and on activity in patients with hip OA. METHODS: In total, 120 patients (125 hips, 22 men and 98 women, aged 64.5±1.0 years) with hip OA were included. Preoperative pain at rest and on activity and CS were assessed using the visual analog scale (VAS) and CS Inventory (CSI), respectively. Postoperative assessments were evaluated using the Japanese Orthopedic Association Hip Disease Evaluation Questionnaire (JHEQ); pain, satisfaction, function, and mental scores were evaluated 6 and 12 months after THA. RESULTS: Multivariate regression analysis indicated the CSI score as affecting VAS for pain at rest (β=0.067, P=0.002) but not VAS for pain on activity (β=0.036, P=0.073). VAS for pain at rest had a weak negative correlation with satisfaction and pain scores at both 6 and 12 months after THA (satisfaction, r=−0.309, −0.278; pain, r=−0.202, −0.22). VAS for pain on activity was not correlated with JHEQ. The CSI score had a weak or moderate negative correlation with three scores other than the function score at both 6 and 12 months after THA (satisfaction, r=−0.266, −0.213; pain, r=−0.332, −0.203, mental, r=−0.427, −0.370). The function score was weakly correlated with the CSI score only 6 months after THA (function, r=−0.231, −0.190). CONCLUSION: A higher level of preoperative pain at rest, a CS-related symptom, may affect postoperative pain persistence and dissatisfaction in patients with hip OA.
